The Fleet on their passage encountered a .tremndous gale of wind, in which the dilricaine'lOst her bowsprit, and received ,other danaage, which obliged her, with many of the Transporig; to put back to Lisbon two of the latter ,were diStnasted, and had sustain e d cons id era bl e da . zst• - =e : three others foundered, and the whole of their crews, with the Troops, perished; except eight . persons, who were picked up by the Africaine. It is understood the whole of the Fleet were totally dispersed, and serious apprehensions are entertained of their fate: • Sir WILLIAM SCOTT had arrived at Lisbon previ ous to the sailing of the Intellik . ent, and was busily occupied in the concerns for which he was dispatched thither.

The delay in their sailing was occasioned by the Portuguese daily claiming the plunder; " for," says a letter from an Officer who was present, " it is not iu my power to describe the villainous aclions they have been guilty of, from JUNOT down to the _adjutant. You have no doubt heard of JUNOT'S stealing the Atike Of SUSSEX'S carriage, which he left in this place. liVi,e n it was ordered to De re-landed, he pretended 4114 nut ltnovir of it.

He states that the entire nuM6ei - of Russians on the frontiers ..of West Galicia does not exceed 10,200 men, and that the camps on*he Bog were, for small corps col le, ed - there solely for the purpose of exercise., This document observes, as folloWs, in proof of the amity subsisting between the two Imperial Courts : " Although Russia is•rich in leather, she gets the beots for her army made at Vienna, and very extern'. sive contracts have been recently made; and are now executing; under the sanction of the Austrian Mi nistry.—Austria has just lent 10,000 stand of arms to Russia, and a considerable quantity of copper in bars is now on its passage to Austria, ,being another payment of the expence of seventeen millions of florins incurred by the passage of the Russian armies through Austria in the years 1779 and 1805: Austrian Surgeons continue to be allowed to enter the Russian service, and, in fa&, every thing chews not only than the most friendly understanding sub sists between the two Courts, but that each is cor dially desirous to tnaintati it." • .

GARNICRIN, the aeronaut, ascended with his il luminated balloon on the evening of the 16th of August, at 15 minutes past eleven at night, from the garden of Tivoli, and descended the-foll Owing morning, past six, at Bronssig, in Woevre, aron dissement of Commerij, in the . department • of the Meuse; a distance of 280 miles from Paris. The villagers were so extremely terrified at the sighi of the aerial vehicle, that they all refused him their as sistance to secure the balloon, excepting one man, who, together with M r . G ARNERIN, used every en deavour to accomplish it, but the wind being very powerful, it forced the ropes from their hands, and the balloon again ascended, taking an 'easterly di re&ion.—Mr. GARNERIN is returned to .
